For Signature Cocktails
Where: The Florida Room (www.delano-hotel.com)
Why: "Mixologist John Lermayer is working with fresh ingredients nightly. Lenny Kravitz designed the Florida Room. They do quite a bit of live music and after midnight it gives way to a DJ."
Located: The Delano Hotel, 1685 Collins Avenue, Miami, FL 33139, T: 305.674.6152
A Miami Scene
Where: LOVE HATE LOUNGE (www.lovehatemiami.com)
Why: "The owners of Miami Ink own it and everyone is tatted. Some nights it's love, some nights it's hate, literally. You'll be standing in line and a bloody brawl will spill out, other nights it's peace and happiness."
Located: 423 Washington Avenue, Miami Beach, FL 33109, T: 305.695.8616
Off The Beaten Track
Where: LOU'S BEER GARDEN (www.lousbeergarden.com)
Why: "It's in the back of a small boutique hotel, just a no frills poolside bar with tables around the pool. Great beer selection and reasonable $5/$6 pints."
Located: The New Hotel, 7337 Harding Ave, Miami Beach FL 33141, T: 305.704.7879
Old School Dive Bar
Where: MAC'S CLUB DEUCE
Why: "I think it's the oldest bar on the beach. That is dive bar central."
Located: 222 14th Street, Miami Beach, FL 33139, T:305.531.6200
Campy
Where: MAGNUM LOUNGE
Why: "It is the coolest gay bar in the world. They don't have the best selection of beers or wine, but when you order a vodka tonic, it's served in a 12 ounce bucket. They have an outdoor patio for when the weather is nice and a small island style bar. Usually there is somebody incredibly flamboyant playing the baby grand piano. It's just hysterical, so I recommend it."
Located: 709 NE 79th Street, Miami, FL 33138, T:305.757.3368
Live Music
Where: THE STAGE (www.thestagemiami.com)
Why: "Probably one of the best live music scenes, band inside and band outside."
Located: 170 NE 38th Street, Miami, FL 33130, T: 786.301.2480
Late Night
Where: PURDY LOUNGE
Why: "It's kinda away from the chaos. Great, local spot - no cover, nightclub/lounge type environment, pretty minimal dress code. The place probably gets going at 1am and it's really hopping at 3am."
Located: 1811 Purdy Avenue, Miami Beach, FL 33139, T: 305.531.4622
